Windows VISTA desktop was accidentally moved instead of copying

User's desktop folder was accidentally moved instead copying and all icons have disappeared..when I attempt to copy back, it already thinks the files are there.
How do I restore the desktop configuration ?

Thanks,
CJ

This is vista.. do do you mean documents ? His desktop folder belongs in C:\users\username\documents ?
I am backing the data up now.. just wondering ..would a system restore resolve it ?
Yes I mean Documents. In Vista I recall it being Documents and now in Windows 7 I see it as My Documents again (within the library).

You certainly could try a system restore to resolve it as well. ... Thinkpads_User
